* [[Acting for Two]]: The five main lead actors also play their respective doppelgangers.
* [[Actor Allusion]]:
** Recently featured Barney, played by Neil Patrick Harris, typing up a blog entry--The "[[Doogie Howser, M.D.]]" theme plays while he types. In a later episode he comments that "Child actors were just better in the 80's" ([[Doogie Howser, M.D.]] again). In fact, it seems we have a diehard Doogie fan. In a Season 5 episode, NPH shows up in scrubs. The season seven episode "No pressure" has Barney compare Lily and Marshall to preppy kids who stage and bet on hobo fights. NPH was a preppy kid who staged and bet on hobo fights on ''Boomtown''.
** Another one is with [[Alyson Hannigan]]'s character. When having cold feet before her marriage, one of the items on the list of experiences to have is a big lesbian experience. Her most famous role is lesbian witch Willow from ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]''. Her favorite name for her baby: Tara (Willow's girlfriend from Buffy).
** At the end of Ten Sessions, the tattoo removal doctor tells Ted to call her if he ever ends up with a dolphin tattoo on his right ankle, which is coincidentally the tattoo that Alyson Hannigan has in real life.
** Season 3, "Wait for It": When Ted is making out with Mandy Moore's character at the bar, her song "Nothing That You Are" is playing in the background.
Line 9 ⟶ 10:
** In "The Wedding Bride", the actor who plays Tony in the titular movie is played by the same guy who played a soap actor in "Prescription Passion", House's favorite soap. Both "The Wedding Bride" and "Prescription Passion" have him deliberately hamming it up to eleven.
** Barney aka [[Neil Patrick Harris]] pretends to be Neil Armstrong and spend about a minute one of his women spends going "Neil, Neil, Neil, Neil...Armstrong"
** Lily has a crush on [[Mila Kunis]]. Perhaps she recently saw her in ''[[Forgetting Sarah Marshall]]'', written by and starring her husband ([[Jason Segel]]).
** Jason Segel plays Marshall, who has a longtime dream of becoming an environmental lawyer and working to protect the environment. This may or may not be a reference to Segel's character of Mike in the 1999 film ''[[SLC Punk!]]'', who leaves Salt Lake City for the University of Notre Dame in order to study botany and (guess what?) save the rain forests.
** Robin's doppleganger is basically her as a lesbian. Cobie Smulders previously played a lesbian in season two of ''[[The L Word]]''.
* [[Dawson Casting]]:
